  • Rating - 2.5/5.0 I have been here three times in total, one of which was for a Yelp elite event. Just recently opened a couple months ago at Commerce Gate and taking over the spot where Grand Noodle used to be, this is a new cheese concept restaurant serving up items such as fusion cheese fondues, pasta dishes and various cheese derived desserts and appetizers. This place would be a 3* if it weren't for their dismal service which still needs quite a bit of work even after a couple months from their opening. One particular waiter was quite incompetent on multiple occasions and always needed to either reach out to the manager or provide feedback that is not what I am looking for. As well, now that they have a reservation system, they even fail to get customers seated at their designated reservation time. I recall one family having to wait 30 minutes past their reservation time. The manager made an excuse saying that the guests are still having dessert etc etc. As a business, you should be accounting for such cases already and include some buffer with your time slots. It is common sense. Below are the items that I have tried along with their respective ratings: [Cavetelli with Lamb Ragu - Rating: 2.5/5.0] Was not a big fan of the chunks of lamb as it did not really complement well with the pasta and also a bit dry. As the dish claimed to be a ragu, I was expecting a meat based sauce but it was quite dry and tomatoey. Portion is quite big and could definitely be shared with two people. [Black Truffle Carbonara Tagliatelle - Rating: 4.0/5.0] The dish was prepared nicely and definitely a must order. The tagliatelle was perfectly al dente and had a fair amount of black truffle which complemented well with the creamy carbonara sauce. The smoked pancetta was aromatic and there was just the right amount of shaved parmesan to bring all the ingredients and flavours together. [Grandma's Meatball Spaghetti - Rating: 3.0/5.0] Again the portions are quite generous for this pasta dish. Nothing really outstanding and something you can definitely make at home. The meatballs were fairly decent compared with the rest of the dish. [Arancini Balls with Spicy Tomato Sauce - Rating: 2.0/5.0] Skip this one and definitely not worth your time trying. It was also not spicy at all. [Japanese Seafood Spaghetti - Rating: 3.5/5.0] I recall this one was quite creamy and saucy. The spaghetti however was a bit on the softer side. There was a decent amount of shrimp and the texture was bouncy. The fish roe also added another dimension of flavours and texture. [Oreo Green Tea Cheese Cake - Rating: 3.5/5.0] Not bad for what it is. Texture was dense and creamy at the same time with a decent amount of cheese flavour to go with the green tea. [Shrimp Tempura Pizza - Rating: 2.5/5.0] The pizza base felt store bought and more like a pita bread. Ingredients were creatively thought out but lacked execution. The tempura was room temperature and not crispy. Quite the contrary to BlogTO, these pizzas were not 'mindblowing'. [Salmon & Shrimp Avocado Pizza - Rating: 2.0/5.0] Same pizza base as the above except this one had salmon, shrimp avocado with wasabi mayo and cheese. Save your calorie intake for something else as this one was just underwhelming and basically tasted like a piece of cardboard with wasabi mayo on top. Overall, they have a couple decent dishes and desserts/drinks. But there is a lot that needs to be improved if they want to be successful for the long term. Perhaps they need to scale down their menu so they can work on their craft before trying to be too ambitious.
